Abstract
Background: Saturated fatty acids disrupt protein trafficking and promote endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress in pancreatic β-cells. Results: Chronic palmitate selectively reduces ER sphingomyelin and cholesterol and disrupts ER lipid rafts. Conclusion: Altered ER lipid rafts contribute to defective ER protein export. Significance: This provides novel insights into the mechanisms of β-cell death that underlie type 2 diabetes.
